LAMP STAND.-

Applieation filed June 22, 1923. Serial No. 647,015.

This i-nvention-relatesto a lamp stand provided With-an adjustablecanopy for the top which may be laterally adjusted in severaldirections.

The invention comprises the novel mechanism and combinations hereinafterdescribed and more particularly pointed out and defined in the appendedclaims:

In. the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodimentof this invention, and in which similar reference numerals refer tosimilar features in the different views:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of the lamp stand.

Figure 2 is an enlarged elevational view of the lamp fixture with thelower part of the standard omitted.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is an enlarged elevational view of an adjustable bracketforsupporting the canopy of lamp shade.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 66 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is an enlarged elevational view of the upper end of the stand.

Figure 7 is a vie-w similar to Figure 1, but showing the opposite sideof the bracket.

As shown on the drawings:

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a tapered hollow standard3 having a base 1. The hollow standard 3 is formed with converging wallsand supports at its upper end a box-like container 7 the bottom of whichcloses the top of the hollow standard.

A pair of oppositely extending arms or brackets 8 integral with thewalls of the container 7 or attached thereto form supports for a pair ofincandescent lamps 9, the wire conduits 10 of which extend through thebracket to the box-like container. The outer ends of the arms 8 extendupwardly and they are provided with supporting clips 11 which are boltedor secured thereto. These supporting clips consist of vertical faceswith parallel ears extending from the faces which straddle the ends ofthe arms 8 for receiving the attaching bolts or the like.

A bracket 12 is supported by each clip 11. The lower end of each bracketis in the form of an arcuate plate having an arcuate slot 13, which isprovided with a notch at the central point of its inner surface toreceive a stud let projecting from the face of the clip. A pivot screw15 extending through a slot 16 in the bracketrotatably supports the sameupon the clip. Above the arms 8, the brackets 12 are inwardlyv oft-setas shown at 12 in Fig. 5, and the offset portion is sunk or depressed sothat the lower end thereof will overlap the adjacent portion of thebracket as indicated at 12 whereby a seatfor a lamp shade is provided.vThe offset portion 12 is provided with a central longitudinallyextending slot 17 through which an adjustable screw 18 extends, whichsupports a narrow plate member 19 having an arcuate jaw or clampingmember 20 extending at right angles to its upper end. Near the upper endof the plate 19 there is a second adjustable screw 21 which extendsthrough a short slot in a short plate 22 which normally rests upon thetop of the bracket. The upper end of the plate 22 is bent outwardly atright angles in the form of an arcuate jaw or clamping member 23 thatoverhangs the jaw 20 and cooperates therewith to clamp the lamp shadetherewith.

The lamp shade as illustrated in the present embodiment of thisinvention consists of a pair of spaced equal circular rings 24 and asmaller concentrically arranged ring 25 positioned thereabove, the threerings being permanently connected together in such relation by pieces ofwire 26 which may be welded or soldered to the rings in any well knownway. The shade is supported by the brackets 12, the lower ring restingupon the offset portions and the second ring being clamped between thejaws 20 and 33. By unloosening the screws 21 and sliding the plates 22upwardly, the jaws will be sufficiently separated for the introductionof the upper ring 24. After the introduction of the ring, the two platesare slid down to clamp the shade in position and the screw tightened. Byunloosening the screw 18 the plate 19 may be vertically adjusted toadapt the bracket for holding different sizes of shades,

as is obvious. A phonograph or the like may be suitably supported in thebox container 7.

If access is desired to either of the'lamps on either side of thephonograph, it is only necessary to lift the bracket 12 to bring thestud 1 1 into the arcuate slot, and thebracket may then be swung toeither side. Figure 2 shows the bracket and shade swung t0 the righthand side, but it can be swung to the left hand side in like manner, the

arcuate slot being designed to allow an oscillation of 180 of thebrackets.

From the foregoing, it will be apparent that I have invented a novelform of lamp stand and an adjustable bracket for supporting the canopyor shade, which may be tilted to either side to provide access to bothsides of the stand. I

I am aware that numerous details of construction may be varied through aWide range without departing from the principles of this invention, andI therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise thannecessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a device of the class described, a standard, arms extending fromsaid standard, adjustable brackets pivoted to said arms and svvingablethrough an arc of a circle, said brackets having lower rests and upperadjustable clamping members for the purpose described. a

2. In a device of the class described, a standard, arms on saidstandard, brackets pivoted to said arms, said brackets having standard,arms on said standard, a bracket pivoted upon each of said arms andadapted to be swung in the arc'of a circle, said bracket having an upperotfset end and a pair of relatively slidable clamping members secured tosaid end.

I. In a device of the: class described, the combination with a lamp, ofa shade therefor, a support for said shade comprising bracket memberssecured thereto and having notched arcuate slots, and means extendingthrough said slots and adapted for locking and unlocking said supportsby a vertical movement of said bracket members.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
